The Wall-A Battle Of Nerves Stretched For Too Long

The wall 2017

An American soldier hides from an Iraqi sniper behind a wall.The sniper  has already shot the former’s  partner and holds all aces ,especially the advantage of an undisclosed location,in this long drawn war thriller.The film must have been conceived as one long everyday conversation between two adversaries separated by a  wall.At 90 minutes,the film seems a tad too long.The idea was enough just to run for about half an hour.Since nothing takes place for virtually an hour between the initial and final mishaps,the running time seems like a luxury.Yet the performances being good enough,this gritty duel film can be given a try.John Cena is definitely an attraction.
